Dates: , , , Wow! Yesterday we drove to the Kronenhof and the mountains in the Engadine were so high and covered in glittering snow! After having a look at the enourmous Christmas tree in front of the hotel, I was really surprised by all the things already waiting for us in our cosy room with our comfortable beds: sweets and toys - plenty for me and my brother. Totally wicked J! The sun woke me up this morning - there is a whole lot of fresh snow outside and I couldn t wait to dive right in. But first we grabbed a huge breakfast in the splendidly decorated Grand Restaurant. The afternoon was just as good as the morning: there was lots going on in the Kids Club. I got to know a lot of children and we had a giant pillow fight - I ve never had one like that before! Together with Lara, I then had a session of Just Dance on the Wii console until we were running on empty - that was real fun! I think she is going to be my new best friend. Tomorrow, we re planning to skate on the big ice rink in front of the Kronenhof Pavillon, which will be great for sure. But, most of all, I m looking forward to the ginger bread baking, Christmas Eve and Santa coming by - I cannot wait to unpack the presents! Winter holidays at the Kronenhof are just awesome.
